I know this is a long shot, but anyone know how I might be able to source a new stock MS260? I know the advantages of the 261, which is a great saw, I'm just looking for something a little bit more like my 026. Any help is appreciated!

I already have. He cannot get them, last I checked.
But I do appreciate the suggestion!

3 new 260’s and 3 new 261’s in every version and none of them stayed like my low hour $40 260 PRO from a garage sale did. That was a damn good saw. Just felt more nimble with good power to me. Had a lot of 026’s also but the $40 one lingered around me for a long time.
Remember, there are 2 versions of the 260 Pro. 44 and 44.7 mm bore.
I did not know that. Is there a “better” one or are they pretty much equal except for maybe a little more power?
I like it when people know exactly what they want.
I hope the OP will show us what he buys when he eventually finds one.

Yeah the 260 Pro is a dang good saw as is the 026 Pro..I use it all the time. I do have 2 new 260 pro saws i bought before they were gone, they are hiding out in the shop on the shelf
Well, if one of those new 260s is weighing your shelf down….I know a guy who’s looking. PM me if you are interested and have a price in mind! Can’t blame you if you don’t want to let go one go tho.
It is just a matter of time until a new 260 comes up for sale. Guys hoard saws...and, some eventually realize...well, they realize one thing or another. They stop burning wood, or come to believe MS190/MS500i is more fun, or .......

Ok let me think about it, and I'll get with you.. I don't mind helping someone out.
I got a very low hours bone stock 260 here and it is going up for sale so you just got first crack at it.
500
Adjustable pump
No decomp button
Half wrap all OEM original
Sticker is on the oil tank
It needs fresh gas and a new home.
Thanks, but I’m really hoping to find a new one.

Did you ever find a 260? I've got a super nice one that a deceased homeowner had since new, it may have a load of firewood on it hours wise and a brand new 18" bar and chain. Lmk if interested. If not I'm gonna put it up on the for sale forum. I was gonna post it for 400.00 but will let you have it for 375.00 shipped. I'm in Arkansas. It's stock and really not far from new
Nope. Still looking. Can you DM some photos?
